A Great Lawyer

Margaret helped my family through the long and complicated probate process required to sell my grandmother's house in Kansas City. We live in another state and always felt Margaret had our best interest in mind. She showed a lot of familiarity and competence with the probate process and the law in... general. Margaret was also patient, kind and helpful. Phone calls were answered and e-mails were responded to very quickly. Margaret recommended an excellent real estate agent who was very knowledgeable about probate properties and real estate in Kansas City. We received a great price for our house and had no legal problems. Margaret has our highest recommendation.

Help With Aging Parents

My father has been in declining health and suffers from dementia, Parkinson's disease, and other ailments which require 24/7 care. My mother is no longer to take care of him, nor is she able to make decisions for him. He is in an assisted care facility and she lives now with one of my siblings. She i...s no longer able to live on her own and hence the need for her to live with family. Margaret was able to help me in becoming a guardian/conservator for my father since neither he nor my mother are able to make decisions for him. Margaret has been helpful in guiding us through the process and understanding the expectations that go along with being legally responsible for an aging parent. I highly recommend her to assist with issues pertaining to family law. These issues are complex and require the assistance of skilled legal practioners who can guide individuals through the process. Margaret is just such an attorney.
